Hello,
I just go back from a lovely lunch with my friend Paige. We went to TAJ mall, a local mall near our school to eat at a cafe. She really wanted a nice salad. I really wanted food. It was a good match. She got a great goat cheese salad and I got a USDA approved roast beef sandwich. Turns out I can still eat red meat and I really enjoy it. I'm just a beef snob. We enjoyed sitting there drinking carrot juice and lemon mint juice on the outside patio. This sounds dumb, but I always eat at home or essentially fast food. It was nice to be handed a menu and eat something not at home that has great nutritional value.
I really love wandering around the malls in Amman. The malls close to where I live are filled with many different international stores. As a result, you get a lot of British fashion. I really like the British looks I see in Amman. It is fresh and different from the American fashion I am used to. The trick is to make things Jordan appropriate. The sleeveless dresses must be worn over a shirt with a sleeve. The short dresses must have leggings or tights underneath. I have even see my host sister wear shorts with tights to a party. It was adorable and so classy looking, but then again she is a classy gal.
Jordanian women put a lot of work into getting dressed in the morning. There makeup is fully done and their hair is just so (If they do not wear hijab). There clothes go together perfectly and everyone looks so fashionable. Its to the point where if I sit with my host mom and her friends when they are visiting, I feel like a slob. My makeup is very natural, I have my hair in a pony tail and generally my outfit is casual. Jordanians somehow make jeans look more formal than any American does.
H&M in TAJ mall is the British version of Tall Mall. The prices are a tad bit higher, but the quality is about 10x higher than H&M in the United States. Other popular stores are Vera Moda, Monsoon, Diesel, French Connection and Calliope.
Below are generic descriptions to the stores
Diesel
The Italian design company will finally open their first store at Fashion Level 2. Some say Diesel is a state of mind and others label it as a positive distraction but for many the only thing that matters is Diesel is here to stay.
